Today's "Headline News' on BBC was 'Heavy snow sweeps across Britain', which demonstrated the BBC's Southerly bias all too clearly. The main snowfall didn't even make it up here, yesterday, and the depths reported in the worst hit areas were only two or three inches. So it was neither 'heavy' nor 'sweeping across Britain', other than in the most generous interpretation.
It continues to irritate that the BBC judges news importance according to its geographical location.
